NRL: Brad Schneider has been named on the bench for this Sunday's NRL Grand Final, confident and ready to step in for Nathan Cleary.
Before Storm front-rower Nelson Asofa-Solomona was ruled out of the grand final through suspension, I had them comfortably beating the Panthers.
Now that Nelson is out, this game is super even but I have the Panthers winning by a whisker for the same reason I initially picked the Storm: their front-row power.I would go as far as to say those two have produced some of the greatest ever grand final performances from props. I cannot wait to see who he starts in the front row for Nelson and how that decision impacts the game.
Penrith coach Ivan Cleary’s big decision is whether to bring back Scott Sorensen and shift Garner to the bench for someone. To’o has always been a gun but with less of a supporting cast in recent seasons he’s had more responsibility and expectation which he’s handled with aplomb.
